The path expressions inside the for-each are absolute, not relative. Because xsl:value-of prints the value of the first selected node, what you have written is: "From the file FileA.xml, display the @type attribute of the first <relation> element, the first attribute that is an @name attribute of a <role> within a <relation>, and the first @id attribute of an <object> belonging to the outermost element. Repeat this as many times as there are elements in FileA.xml". You haven't shown your source document, so it's not clear to me what you really want. I suspect it's something like: > <xsl:for-each select="document($FileA)//element"> > > <xsl:value-of select=".//relation/@type"/> > <xsl:value-of select=".//relation/role/@name"/> > <xsl:value-of select="*/object/@id"/> > > </xsl:for-each> Michael Kay Software AG home: Michael.H.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx work: Michael.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
